The God Who...
Luke 18:9-14
For those who follow the ministry of Jesus, there should be a level of surprise from where the opposition comes from.
It almost never comes from Rome
Yes at the end of Jesus life he is crucified by the romans but very reluctantly
It is almost never from the surrounding non Jews
There is an account where Jesus is asked to leave a town by some non jews who where frightened of his power but this proves to be an exception, the surrounding non Jews are often praised by Jesus and see more in the way of miraculous healing
Its never from the “morally inferior.”
This is a surprise as Jesus never removes moral accountability, He never relaxes the rules by which a person gets into heaven.
If any thing he dials it up, and yet he is called friend of sinners?
It is the moral elites that seem to oppose Jesus at every turn.
The scribes and the pharisees seem to have the biggest problem with them.
Todays Parable seems to be a clue as to why
The thing in your life that will make God’s love most precious in your life is humilty in light of your sin and not comfort in your own moral victories.
The God who Justifies Sinners...
What is a Parisee and What is a Tax Collector
Pharisees
Seperate Ones
Middle Class
Held to a Strict Interpretation of Mosaic Law
Politically Marginalized
Fence around the law
Often Worked with Rome
Beleieved in the Ressurection of the Body
Social Elites
Tax Collectors
Leased the right to collect taxes
Seen and corrupt and complicit
Socailly Ostricised
Who is justified before God
What does it mean to be justified
It means to be right before God and able to be in his presence.
The pharisee imagines himself to be able to stand just before God becasue of what he has done
The 5 I statements
The tax collector understands his only hope is Gods mercy to make his just.
Jesus rejects one and mebraces the other.
The thing in your life that will make God’s love most precious in your life is humilty in light of your sin and not comfort in your own moral victories.
The God who Rejects Sinners
We do not serve the Parable, nor do we serve the love of God by shrinking God’s demand for justice.
